May i tumpang kereta ! :D


Bro Thiang, still too early for me to say anything. Now only at route planning stage. When we come back from this Mekong3 trip the person in charge of the accommodations will do his survey. Date will usually be during the school holidays. Tumpang? - can usually there will be one or two cars needing co-drivers.

Bro cflai Thank you very much for the tracks. I am sure it will be useful to us. Am glad to hear that the R5 is the latest available. Thank you again. :tq: :thumbsup:

:rox:


Bro Samurai

I just noticed that in the new Laos/Vietnam/Cambodia R5 map, roads to the international borders are not joined and a few roads are still missing along the tracks that we have done. Therefore caution must be used if you plan to create a route using the map or it may give you some weird loops along the way. I have just reported these errors to the asiagps mappers.. Hope they can come out with R6 soon to rectify them....

You may have to leave that bit of planning to your local agents to fix the actual routes for you is better.

Other than that, the street maps to available towns are quite good and well aligned. For more POIs, go to the forum site and download some new POIs submitted by members there for additional points for your use.

Regards

Thanks Bro cflai, Yeah I noticed the non alignments of the roads between the countries. The overall planning we left it to the local agent, but to us as GPS users we feel more comfortable with reliable maps as well, especially the streetmaps. Our group had a nasty experience two years back where we were brought into really rough territories by a young and inexperienced guide. Thank god it ended well.

Thanks for the tips on the forum, am into it already now. :tq:

Hi Ghazi, this interesting and quite detailed travelblog about 2 Singaporeans who had traveled thru Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam in 64 days may provide some pointers for your upcoming trip.
